Nusa Ceningan – Travel Tips

20. März 2017

Two weeks ago some friends and I went to the Nusa Islands again and I was just as excited as the first time. I think I will never get used to the beauty of the island. During my first stay, I spent most of the time in Nusa Lembongan – but this time I decided to fully discover the neighboring island Nusa Ceningan. Just like Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan fascinates with its‘ beautiful white sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters. It’s the smallest island of the three part island group, 30 minutes away from Bali.

Taking the speedboat you will arrive at the harbor of the neighboring island Nusa Lembongan. From there, the simplest way to get to Nusa Ceningan is renting a scooter at the harbor and go to the so-called ‚Yellow Bridge‘. After a tragical collapse, the rebuilding of the bridge which connects the two neighboring islands has been completed three weeks ago. Due to this bridge, the sea can be easily crossed within a minute.

My tip: The hotel ‚Villa Trevally‘, directly located at the Secret Beach offers an incredible view of the bay, the ocean and the third island Nusa Penida and has its‘ own access to the beach. If you’re having a little drink you will be allowed to enjoy the hotel’s own infinity pool even as a non-hotel guest. Likewise the restaurant ‚Cliff Ceningan‘ is definitely worth a visit and a perfect spot for a short lunch break. While having some traditional food you can totally enjoy the amazing view.

Apart from that – the whole island looks like paradise and is incredibly beautiful. During my last trip, I rented a motorbike because some of the outlying roads are a bit bumpy and rough. But with a little caution, it’s also possible to go by scooter.
